They really look like a 'cast' here - like they wouldn't ever really hang out all together normally but they are just for filming. At the beginning with LC I always felt like they were all hanging out off screen too because they were actually friends, but now they are only together on screen, it just makes it seem all the more fake. It's probably always been like this, but never seemed to be as forced at the beginning. It's like it's reached a whole new level of fakeness and the only really thing in it now are their names!
